RT2860 injection may finally be here!

It seems the rt2x00 project has finally added support for the RT2860. If you look at:

hxxp://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git;a=summary

...you will see that support for the RT2860 was implemented on 6/20! The problem is, I'm not to familiar with using GIT so I'm not exactly sure how to get the driver that contains support for the RT2860.

Can anyone help out with this? I know there's a lot of netbooks out there with this chipset (not sure if the mods may even want to place the new driver in the repository - if that's at all feasible...)

From what I've been reading, it seems that what's contained in git package listed above is the entire kernel which from my interpretation has to be compiled and installed. If I remember right, doesn't BT4 use a custom kernel? This would probably wind up affecting the entire BT4 install...

Does anyone know if this is correct and if so is there a way to just compile the updated driver?
